The Broncos offensive line has struggled in protection the last two weeks and with Osweiler getting his first full game as the team’s quarterback, he will likely look to the short, safe pass often.

Brock Osweiler (Denver) has been groomed for years and is a sneaky start this week as he finally gets a chance to start in the NFL. The question is how will he perform in his first meaningful game?
Kubiak quickly announced after the game that he should have never started Manning at all and that he was not fully healthy. We already know what the Denver defense is capable of. A former co-editor here at Predominantly Orange, he now works as a Broncos columnist and co-editor over at BSN Denver. Having a game manager that isn’t turning over the ball constantly like Peyton Manning. What is going on Ian? “Simple football”, running back C.J. Anderson told USA TODAY Sports.
Daniels has been a duel threat in the pass and run game for a few time now while Davis is undoubtably a pass-catching specialist.
“However, people forget the offense was phenomenal in the second half against the Colts”. These teams have met on 14 occasions and have split those games right down the middle. “It’s always important to get to a place in the season where you can compete and that’s why winning is so important early on and even as the season goes on”. What won’t give them an advantage is the fact that the Bears coaching staff knows the ins and outs of Osweiler like the backs of their hands.
Should not the 18-year veteran be helping the first-time starter? What are your thoughts Ian? It will be the third game Ware has missed this season.
Kubiak said Manning did come onto the field at one point during Friday’s practice to watch the offense alongside Kubiak.
“But it is not just Osweiler”.
Asked this week if he was confident hed be back in action soon, Manning said, I sure hope so…. They may very well knock off the Broncos Sunday at home.
That’s exactly where Manning was. It is apparent that Father Time has officially caught up to him. We want to get out there. He continually did the one thing a player in his position is supposed to do. Osweiler was a former high school basketball start who had committed to Gonzaga as a high school freshman and only realized his love of football years later. Peyton leads the league in interceptions, with nearly twice as many as touchdowns (17 to 9), and yet the Broncos are still 7-2. He had this to say about that. As if that wasn’t enough to know Osweiler, Fox brought the Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase over with him to Chicago.

Still, lack of a running game has been the biggest issue for the Broncos this year, as they rank 29th in rushing yards this season. By no means is Manning the only issue on this offense, but a new spark in the form of Osweiler may be what this offense needs right now. Yes, he is in his fourth year, but this is his first start. Chicago can defeat a better Denver team, Fox can out-coach his replacement and revenge would be earned on Elway and the entire organization. Recievers and tight ends can’t drop passes and at least attempt to run block. These Bears are now on a two-game wining streak, and I think that streak will continue heading into an even more important matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.
